Rick and Morty Close Rick-Counters of the Rick-Kind

How many Ricks is too many Ricks? All of them, some would argue. And by “some” we mean Jerry, and sometimes even Morty. Still, even a single Rick is sure to make things more interesting – and this game is loaded with a whole Council of them!

Inspired by the first season Rick and Morty episode, “Close Rick-Counters of the Rick-Kind,” this deck-building game from Cryptozoic is based on the company’s Cerberus Engine – with a few upgrades. The typical “Kick” stack has been replaced with Portal Guns, which can be used to access the unpredictable and awesome Location Deck. These Locations, based on the episode or other popular places from the series, can be used that turn and then they go away – or you can buy them if you think they’ll add a new dimension (heh, get it?) to your strategy. Play as and against various alternate reality versions of Rick as you try to stop the villainous Council of Ricks from getting too self-righteous. Ugh, they need to be knocked down a peg… and you’re just the Rick to do it!

For a mouse who’s 90 years old, Mickey is still pretty spry. He just goes on whistling as he drives his steamboat down the river without a care in the world. He just want to spread that special joy and nostalgia that only he can bring to the table. The kind of joy that makes you want to crush your opponent at chess.

Batman: The Animated Series was a game changer in terms of both storytelling and artistic direction. So it only seems fitting that IDW Games should give it an epic board game, befitting its status. Say hello to Gotham City Under Siege.

Some of us here at ThinkGeek World Domination HQ haven’t been able to play Fallout since good ol’ top-down FO1 and FO2 because of stupid motion sickness. And while we’re waiting for our pre-ordered Citroen glasses from Boarding Ring to ship (yes, we are that geeky), it’d be nice to be able to have our faces eaten by super mutants just like the rest of our friends.
